just wondering i added climates of tamriel and at night and in dungeons its almost pitch black for me and was thinking about using a torch but since i'm focusing on stealth for awhile it wouldn't help lol.

Because of the mod I use, nights are dark as it should be. So I use torches, it feels more "realistic" to use torches. It's quite fun not seeing monsters going straight at you until it's to late :D or "Is that a bush or a wolf, better stealth and see... Oh look a bear..."

I also use a few mods which make things darker, my favourite is one which removes ALL light sources from abandoned dungeons. Undead see in the dark and can detect life, they don't need to spend a fortune on torches. Dungeons which contain NPCs who would need light, such as humans, are lit as usual because it only makes sense.

It makes things like torches, lanterns, light spells and night-eye absolutely necessary and improves the overall atmosphere of the game immensely. Should be like this in vanilla, why must even the most abandoned ancient cave full of ghosts need to be lit up like blackpool?
